Steps for Preparation
- Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a broiler.
- Place 3/4 of the swordfish slices on a work
surface and pat dry. Top each steaK with blanched spinach leaf,
trimmed to fit.
- Cut the additional swordfish into several pieces
and place in the bowl of a food processor; pulse several times to
chop. Add the breadcrumbs, cheese, 2/3 of the olive oil, the capers,
basil, egg, and pepper; process just enough to combine ingredients
into a mealy mixture; do not over-process.
- Divide the mixture among the slices of swordfish,
placing it near the smallest end and leaving a border along the
bottom and sides. Roll the slices up. Push in 2 skewers, one near
each end of the rolls to hold them flat.
- Brush the rolls all over with the remaining
oil. Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler and cook
for 4 to 5 minutes; turn and cook on the second side, about 6 minutes.
- Check for doneness of each roll using a Cook'd
Right® Sensor.
- Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center
of roll. Wait 5-10 seconds.
- Remove sensor tip and check color.
- Continue checking with the same sensor until
done.
- Discard sensor when finished.
- Roll is done when tip of sensor is fully
orange.
- The fish and stuffing should be just cooked
through but should not be all dry. Remove the skewers before serving
the fish with lemon wedges.
